The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part'of thelame.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN J. SGHILLINGER,ofthe city,'coun ty, and State of New York, have invented anew and usefulImprovement in Qas ks; and I' do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable thoseskilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawing forming part of this specification, in whichdrawing--' Figure 1 is avertical cross-section ofmy improvement.

Figure 2 is a horizontal section through the door.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

This invention relates to easks for holding lager beer and otherliquids, andconsists in providing the same, during the process ofconstruction, with devices hereinafter described.

The letter A designates the cask, composed of cement made of lime andsand, and provided at suitable places with one or more bung-holes, B,through which the liquid is admitted or drawn. The bungholes are made oftubes of metal or other suitable material set in the walls of the caskduring the process of construction, and, in order to secure them inplace, I make shoulders or projections O on a portion of the exterior ofsaid tubes, in such a manner that when they are iuclosed in the walls ofthe cask they are prevented from moving out or in, being held by theirshoulders or projections. In this example I have made the projections Gwith inclined sides, coming to a point at about the middle of the tube.

The letter D designates the door-way or man-holei of the cask. Saiddoor-way is provided with an open metallic frame or casing, E, which isset in the wall in the process of construction, and which has on itsbearings for the door F, which is held up against them from within by abolt or bolts, G, and an outside bridge-plate, H, which bears againstthe outer surface of the frame or casing E. I

The door F is grooved upon its face, as at I, near its edge, where itbears upon the frame or casing E, and in the groove I placea packing ofIndia rubber or other suitable material, to make a tight joint.

\Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The door-way D, produced by means of the frame E, formed with abung-hole, and having projections G on its outer surfaces, and forming,in connection with the cask A, casings or bearings for the door F,provided with suitable fastening devices,- substantially as described.
